As i have been posting replies to an Arabic language writing support, i have been told to consider on translating an Puppy.

So i have decided to start on it and wary will be my experiment (because my PC is old, and also good for other peoples). But, i have to make sure things will work smooth.

OK. This is my questions (i hope they are in the right place):

-Will the right to left reading is fully supported in menu, puppy apps (PUI, PPM, Personalize, etc.....) and error messages?
- Is most of the apps in puppy are translated by MoManger?
-Will ROX-Filer is under the MoManger?

I guess that all.

I want to make an Langpack, so no need to remaster. but if i want to make a new puppy, is replacing the window manger easy (no need to put commands, a LONG commands)?

We will have to find out.
No one else has been testing this before.

The first thing you have to do is install a texteditor which can handle right to left (geany cannot).
I suggest yudit:
Klick on
http://yudit.org/download/binary/yudit-2.9.2-1.i386.rpm
and open with pupzip (default)
then expand it to /
In console start it by typing

Code:

yudit

I have done it in racy, so it should work in wary too.

Next you will have to make yudit your defaulteditor because momanager will open the translation file in defaulteditor.

the most import scripts to start with are (just my opinion):
- quicksetup
- shutdownconfig

Translations that are available from the sources
Let us try
example 1: osmo
downloaded from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/osmo-pim/files/latest/download
there is no ar
We take osmo.pot (t means template)
and put it in /usr/share/doc/nls/osmo/

Now we hope that momanager will manage this
I attach the osmo.pot for your convenience

example 2: notecase
downloaded from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/notecase/files/notecase/1.9.8/notecase-1.9.8_src.tar.gz
and sweet joy contains an ar translation
I will attach notecase_ar.po.gz (.gz is just for uploading)
download and save as notecase.po

Thanks
I will start downloading the pup, sure it will take a while for my speed. I will keep you inform with anything happens (hope not)._________________Puppy linux fact:Life is experiments......Download and try,Don't search and cry.

After that i have tried your Yudit but with no use, the Arabic chars are viewed as square box with numbers in it. And finally i have installed Katoob text editor, it is the same as Geany but also that massage show up

So i have leave the scripts and move to menus. Menus have been translated in the Geany editor, but in the menu it came like this (red rectangular):

For the menu categories and entries, they still the same. No matter what i did in anywhere.
But like i said, i'm 100% sure that it's a JWM problem. And here the prove:_________________Puppy linux fact:Life is experiments......Download and try,Don't search and cry.Last edited by BDX on Mon 15 Oct 2012, 19:55; edited 1 time in total
